This Sunday Music Muse Day post will be short and bitter-sweet, after a severe thunderstorm the passed through n the area yesterday with high winds, dumping heavy rain and hail. Luckily, it didn't last long, but it was impressive. My first selection is James Blood Ulmer Third Rail - South Delta Space Age. The music of guitarist Ulmer can be an acquired taste, being a mixture of deep South Delta blues and avant garde and free jazz. This session is almost subdued compared to some of his other recordings. It well worth listen for the adventurous.
My next selection, Stanley Clark & Lenny White Vertu is a disappointment. I'm a fan of their bass and drum wore, respectively, in the legendary jazz fusion group Return to Forever, led by pianist Chick Corea, with Al Di Meola on guitar (Yes, I know Bill Conner was the group's first guitarist). Unfortunately Vertu offers the worst of the 80's jazz/rock fusion, sounding muddled and unfocused. You might want to avoid this.
